COVID vaccine letters

The national booking system is using a direct marketing company to make the calls, and they're using the same number that's listed online as a nuisance cold-caller. If you're wondering why you haven't had a notification it may be worth checking you aren't blocking the number: 02036414657.

A Google search for that number suggests they're actually scammers who, amongst other lies, have falsely claimed to be calling from the HMRC and NHS.

You may get a phone call from the NHS Immunisation Management Service. This call will be from 0300 561 0240.

Yes, that's why I hadn't answered it previously. It's seemed like a strange message for a scammer though, they weren't asking for money or info, and didn't leave a number to ring them on. It just said you're eligible for a vaccine, and to call the NHS booking line. Either way, it's a bit late, I booked online 3 days ago.
